We do not recommend the use of pressure 
washers or garden hose to clean your unit. They 
may cause damage to electric components, 
spindles, pulleys, bearings or the engine. The use 
of water will result in shortened life and reduce 
serviceability.

Check the blade and engine mounting bolts at 
frequent intervals for proper tightness. Also, 
visually inspect blade for damage (e.g., excessive 
wear, bent, cracked). Replace with blade which 
meets original equipment specifications.

Keep all nuts, bolts and screws tight to be sure the 
equipment is in safe working condition.

Never tamper with safety devices. Check their 
proper operation regularly. Use all guards as 
instructed in this manual.

After striking a foreign object, stop the engine, 
remove the wire from the spark plug and thoroughly 
inspect the mower for any damage. Repair the 
damage before restarting and operating the mower.

Grass catcher components are subject to wear, 
damage and deterioration, which could expose 
moving parts or allow objects to be thrown. For your 
safety protection, frequently check components 
and replace with manufacturer’s recommended 
parts when necessary.

Mower blades are sharp and can cut. Wrap the 
blade(s) or wear gloves and use extra caution when 
servicing blade(s).

Check brake operation frequently. Adjust and 
service as required.

Muffler, engine and belt guards become hot during 
operation and can cause a burn. Allow to cool down 
before touching.

Do not change the engine governor settings or 
overspeed the engine. Excessive engine speeds 
are dangerous.

Observe proper disposal laws and regulations. 
Improper disposal of fluids and materials can harm 
the environment and the ecology.

Prior to disposal, determine the proper method to 
dispose of waste from your local Environmental 
Protection Agency. Recycling centers are 
established to properly dispose of materials in an 
environmentally safe fashion.

Use proper containers when draining fluids. Do not 
use food or beverage containers that may mislead 
someone into drinking from them. Properly dispose 
of the containers immediately following the draining 
of fluids.

DO NOT pour oil or other fluids into the ground, 
down a drain or into a stream, pond, lake or other 
body of water. Observe Environmental Protection 
Agency regulations when disposing of oil, fuel, 
coolant, brake fluid, filters, batteries, tires and other 
harmful waste.

WARNING: YOUR RESPONSIBILITY- Restrict the use of this power machine to persons who read,
understand and follow the warnings and instructions in this manual and on the machine.
